GOSHEN, Ind. — A pair of late-inning tiebreaking hits gave the Goshen College baseball team its second doubleheader sweep over Crossroads League rival Taylor University as the Maple Leafs topped the Trojans 4-3 and 7-4 Saturday on J. Harold "Sarge" Yoder Field.

Goshen (7-11, 2-1) rapped 23 hits in the six-hour twinbill, putting up nine in game one and 13 in game two while winning the opener on a seventh-inning base hit and the nightcap on the back of a three-run eighth inning. Kody McGuire had five hits and Nate Lange and Mitchell Wilson each posted four apiece.

Braedon Evans and Colton Daniel each worked into the sixth but did not get the wins, which went to Colby Malson and Landon Roth respectively. Neither game included a save since the finishing pitcher got the victory in each case.

The win gives Goshen five wins in the last seven games against the Trojans and a 7-4 mark in the last 11 games dating back to the 2017 conference tournament. The Maple Leafs also won seven games over Taylor in the two decades ending with the 2017 regular season.

Taylor (13-4, 1-2) threatened right off the bat in the opener, getting a Nick Rusche double and a Matt Dutkowski walk to put two runners on before Evans got out of the inning. Goshen answered by putting two runs on the board in the bottom of the inning, getting a Colby Malson single and an error to advance Mitchell Wilson before Lange singled to create a 2-0 lead.

The Trojans left two runners on in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings before Lange's leadoff double started a Maple Leaf rally in the sixth. Bunts from Bobby Garcia and Char Reeves loaded the bases before McGuire's base hit plated a run, but a strikeout and a double-play grounder prevented any additional insurance.

Dutkowski's double and a pair of walks put the tying run on base for TU in the seventh inning, and the Trojans tied the game on a ground ball to third with one out. Despite coming up short in his effort to close out the win, Malson got the next two batters to strand the go-ahead run at second base in a 3-3 deadlock.

Wilson's double got lost in the sun in left-center, jump-starting the GC offense with one out in the bottom of the inning. A Peyton Smith flyout allowed the left fielder to move to third base before Lange singled up the middle for the walk-off win and was mobbed by his teammates between first and second bases.

Rusche, Conner Crawford and Kade Vander Molen all had two hits for Taylor. Rusche added a double. Noah Huseman started and threw 5 innings before Dutkowski took the loss in relief.

Goshen opened the scoring in the second inning of game two before the Trojans plated four runs to take a 4-1 lead through five and a half innings. The Maple Leafs bounced back to score twice in the sixth and once in the seventh before breaking the game open with three in the eighth, leaving the tally at six unanswered runs.

The Leafs left five runners on in the first two innings, squandering walks to Malson and Ben Longacre in the first along with an error and a McGuire double in the second. That double scored Daniel Camargo for the opening run but GC left the bases juiced.

Taylor made Goshen pay after three walks to four batters loaded the bases in the fourth inning. Christian McGill singled through the left side to score a pair of runs before Daniel struck out Tanner Kolbe to end the inning.

The Trojans tripled their lead in the sixth on Vander Molen's solo homer and two singles, but a rundown resulted in Kolbe getting stranded at third. Goshen got those two runs back in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases on an error and two hits before Wilson's flare fell into shallow right to score both runs.

The tying run crossed the plate in the seventh inning after Char Reeves posted his second bunt hit of the day, then took second on a throwing error. Kody McGuire's single into left scored the run.

Taylor threatened in the eighth after starting the inning with a pair of strikeouts, loading the bases with three straight walks. Roth, who entered the game for his first conference appearance, got a lineout to right field to end the inning with three men on in a tie game.

Goshen loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the frame, eventually working through three Trojan pitchers to take the lead. Longacre and Wilson each singled before Smith walked and Lange poked a go-ahead sacrifice fly to make it 5-4.

An Evan Creager base hit reloaded the bases before Reeves singled and Kody McGuire was hit by a pitch, each moving the runners forward 90 feet and stretching the lead to 7-4.

After a pair of strikeouts ended the inning, two flyouts and a strikeout retired the Trojans in order.

Reeves and McGuire each led GC with three hits; McGuire also drove in three runs. Daniel allowed 4 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings with 5 strikeouts. John Sanocki and Baylee Young combined for 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.

The Trojans worked 9 walks in the game and the teams combined for 15, which helped flesh the game out to three hours and 20 minutes. TU got 4 hits, including a double, from Rusche and 2, including a homer, from Vander Molen. TJ Bass and Crawford each knocked in a pair.

Taylor used 5 pitchers, including 4 2/3 innings of relief from Alec Holcomb. Kole Barkhaus was tagged with the loss.

Goshen is idle at midweek before playing a second straight conference series at home against Huntington University next weekend. The series is slated to begin with a single game at 3 p.m. Friday before a Saturday doubleheader.
